One such program is EZ Score Plus from Hybrid Arts (213) 841-0340.

It runs in mono, offers good scoring capabilities, and supports 9 and 24-pin
dot matrix printers for output. You can hear what you've scored through
either the Atari built-in speaker or a MIDI device. 

Although for just scoring purposes you can run EZ Score Plus standalone,
I use it in combination with the EZ Track sequencer software, also from HA.
This lets me input a song from a Midi keyboard (which, in my case, is an el
cheapo but goodo Casio CZ 101). For me, this is a faster and more natural
way to get notes into the computer than entering them by hand from within
EZ Score. I use EZ Track to quantize my uneven playing to, say the nearest 
1/32nd note. After that, EZ Score Plus reads the sequencer output, and does 
the scoring automatically. 

I only wish that EZ Score would support the HP Deskjet. Does anyone know
of a scoring program that does?
